3 Pound Fishing Guide Service – Lake of Egypt
Book your next trip with 3 Pound Fishing Guide Service! Your guide for the day is Captain Matt, giving you access to years of fishing experience.
Fishing for Crappie on the waters of Lake of Egypt, Rend Lake, and Kinkaid Lake, Captain Matt is an expert with the best technology available to catch this delicious fish. You'll target Crappie by light tackle fishing, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. You're welcome to take home your catch, and the captain will clean it and bag it, so you can take your fish and throw it right into the pan. Now that's dinner!
You'll be casting lines from a 20' Bass boat that holds up to 3 passengers. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this, so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
Trips with 3 Pound Fishing Guide Service are kid-friendly, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Don't leave home without snacks for the day, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray).

Timothy DesorcieRepeat angler4.7Verified110 Percent Effort
5 Hour Trip (1 MAX) on April 16, 2025 • 2 adultsThe motto of Matt Mavigliano at 3 Pound Fishing Guide Service is to provide 110 percent effort to help guests have the best time possible fishing. Anglers will cruise to proven hotspots around Lake of Egypt aboard a smooth riding 20-foot tournament fishing boat. The boat is equipped with live scope sonar equipment help pinpoint fish. Auto-positioning electric trolling motors at each corner of the boat allow Matt to maintain position and place anglers in best reach of spots to fish. Matt has an understanding of fishes seasonal patterns of behavior and the location and structure which attract and hold crappie. During an afternoon fishing in very early spawning, we were reqularly catching crappie up to two pounds. When fishing slowed and then moving to another spot, the next would usually be productive. It was my lack of casting accuracy that was the biggest contributing factor which prevented a very good day fishing from being excellent one. I will definately consider 3 Pound Fishing Guide Service and Lake of Egypt the next time I consider heading out crappie fishing. Tight Lines! Tim D., Tecumseh, MI

5 Hour Trip (2 MAX) on May 1, 2024 • 2 adultsFirst off Matt was an amazing fishing guide. He definitely knows his crappies and where to find fish on Lake of Egypt! We caught a lot of fish and not just crappies. Matt made us feel welcome and educated us with some fishing tips. We will be returning to him next time we are here!

5 Hour Trip (2 MAX) on September 9, 2022Went with captain Matt of 3 pound fishing guide service. He was very knowledgeable of the lake and put us on fish immediately. He has a brand new fiberglass boat which was very roomy and all the latest technology in his graphs and live-scope systems. He provided all the rods, reels and all the tackle for the day. We could not have been more pleased and have since booked several more trips with Matt.

Afternoon 1:30-6:30pm on October 11, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Matt took the time to explain the method and worked to get us catching crappies. Once we got going we caught em pretty consistently. A fun day of fishing. Would recommend.
